Picnics are super fun, but not always convenient if you're faced with bad weather or find yourself far from a green space. To turn every meal into a picnic (sans the army of invading ants), <a href="http://haikocornelissen.com/work/picnyc-table/" target="_blank">Haiko Cornelissen Architekten</a> designed this sod-covered aluminum table to bring the outdoorsy experience right into your city apartment. And don't worry about spilling your water during occasions of fine-dining -- it'll help the grass grow!

The table could also be reasonably planted with herbs, flowers, wheat grass or even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedum" target="_blank">sedum</a> for a low maintenance experience.

Haiko Cornelissen's table is a commentary on the quickly growing urban farming trend. The table brings the rural experience of picnicking into the city and into your own private apartment.
